The Keeper

Every marriage or relationship goes through spells where you just don't want to talk to one another. And then you have to because one of you is the keeper of information.

Even when the husband and I are not feeling super friendly, we have these conversations:

Where is the tuition bill?
What is my dad/mom's social security number?
Did you mail that paperwork in?
Did he call today?
Did you talk to the nurse today?

I am the keeper of information. I know where the files are kept. But it's a risky venture. I am Pigpen. It's kind of like asking the dog to be in charge of one particular twig.
